Scoring: MP

You can comment on the bidding, but will have to accept the final contract of 3NT:
1♦-(1♥)-DBL-(Pass)
1♠-(pass)-2♥-(Pass)
2♠-(pass)-3NT-All pass
 
opps are not very strong. LHO leads ♥J
 
I played and made 3NT, but doubt that my line was good. I hope somebody will take the challenge. What is your plan?
I'll tell what happens after every step.

I win the Ace and play a spade to the table and let the ♣T ride (unless it's covered).

♠x to my ♠Q, ♣A tossing a diamond from the table and another club (another diamond).

Heart 10, planning to let it ride if not covered. If covered, and if RHO follows, I cover and return the 8 back, ditching a club. Now what? Or, did I guess wrong about how hearts behave?

It was RHO who overcalled 1♥ and he would cover the T with ♥Q

Yes, but you made me doubt if I had ♣AJ98x. I now think that it was ♣AJ9xx.

Compared to the OP, I changed ♣8 to a small ♣. I think that was the real hand!! RHO did overcall 1♥.
How I played this...I'm not sure if that play was ok, so any critics are welcome!
LHO leads ♥J taken be the ♥K in Hand.
I played a ♠ to the ♠A in dummy and did let ♣T ride (RHO did not cover).
Then I played 4 rounds of ♠ (I expected LHO to have 4c♠ if they would be 4-2 and probably I could keep him of lead. Maybe playing ♠ would take away RHO exit card later??)
Now I played a low ♥ for ♥Q and ♥T.
RHO did return ♣K that I took with the ♣A and I returned a ♣ to RHO's ♣Q.
RHO now played ♦A and a ♦, and I took ♦K and a ♣.
My partner was VERY disappointed that I didn't make ♥K.
 
Should I have played this differently?
